In this wide-ranging and provocative conversation, author and publisher Steve Crimi unpacks the layered meanings behind the phrase “Hermes runs the Game”, the title of his new book. Drawing from mythology, ritual history, and personal insights from the early COVID era, Crimi traces Hermes not as a mythic relic but as a living archetypal force permeating systems of communication, commerce, and control. He connects Hermes' mythic role as a trickster, thief, and psychopomp to the linguistic manipulation and symbolic inversion witnessed during the pandemic.The discussion moves fluidly through classical myth, the origins of ritual sacrifice, and Crimi's personal awakening during the social response to COVID mandates. Crimi views Hermes not only as a historical deity but as an active metaphysical principle that continues to shape our perceptions, boundaries, and beliefs—especially in moments of collective crisis.Where to get the book:Logosophia Books:https://logosophiabooks.comHow to find Steve:Steve's SubstackMy personal SubstackBy Steve and Krys CrimiKrystina Crimi at Fine Art America:https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/krystina-crimiKrystina Crimi at Etsy:https://www.etsy.com/shop/PhilosophyFarm?ref=related&listing_id=1199682791#itemsPodcasts:https://logosophiabooks.com/podcasts/Send us a textVisit http://www.magicalegyptwomen.comor http://www.magicalegypt.comGet the latest updates on our link tree https://linktr.ee/magicalegypt.com Connect https://www.facebook.com/vanesemcneill Own Magical Egypt http://www.magicalegypt.com Get Heka https://wow.magicalegyptstore.com/heka Become a Patron https://www.patreon.com/magicalegypt

 Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast # 85, on October 12th of 2022.  Today, I answer seven interesting investment questions:1. Why are you so hard on financial advisors? Most advisors work strictly for the betterment of their clients. I also know without a doubt that financial companies have a zero-tolerance policy for advisors who operate otherwise. I resent your implication that the typical financial advisor's recommendations are more concerned with his compensation than the well-being of their clients?  2. Would you agree that financial advisors recommend annuities as an investment because they offer both zero-downside risk and have tremendous upside potential, not because it is part of their compensation?  3. Is there a risk in buying a stock for its dividend? 4. Why do investors panic during a stock market crash?  5. Should I pay a financial advisor to select the stocks for my portfolio, or should I do it myself?   6. Is it possible to set up a stock portfolio without having to constantly spend hours on research and paperwork? 7. If there is always a reason behind stock price movements, does it create predictable patterns?            ****************************************************************   The objective of these podcasts is to turn all investors into successful, self-directed, financially independent investors.  For more insights into investing and stock scoring, go to, www.saferbetterdividendinvesting.com.  Investment books by Ian Duncan MacDonald: American High Dividend Handbook - (3.5% + NYSE & NASDAQ dividend stocks)Canadian High Dividend Handbook - (3.5% + dividend stocks on the TSX)Safer Better Dividend Investing  - (US & Canada high dividend stocks)Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing - (trials of a new investor)All books are available from amazon.com as e-books or in print: Those purchasing an investment book can request the IDM stock scoring software at no additional charge. Check out Ian's three novels at amazon.com. Beware the Abandoned - (a capitalist sect exploiting poverty); Using Drought USA -  (solving the South West drought);Duel - (Repercussions of establishing a Chinese military base in the Caribbean).  If you are interested in Ian's art, visit his Fine Art America website a https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/ian-macdonald Ian Duncan MacDonaldAuthor, Artist, Commercial Risk Consultant,President of Informus Inc 2 Vista Humber Drive Toronto, Ontario Canada, M9P 3R7 Toronto Telephone - 416-245-4994 New York Telephone - 929-800-2397 imacd@informus.ca

Adjoa Burrowes has had several successful careers and it was such an honor to talk with her about her art practice, teaching, and children’s books. She spoke about narrative and the importance of telling your own story and ensuring that students have opportunities to tell their own stories. I was so moved and inspired by this conversation. I hope you feel the same as you listen. Her discussion of the empowerment telling your own story provides reminded me of this talk by the acclaimed author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, "The Danger of a Single Story." Adjoa’s words at the end about standing in the footprints of great artists are so powerful. Her story and her grit provide such motivation. To hear how she kept pushing to become a children’s book illustrator and then author by continuing despite hearing “no” again and again. “Keep pushing at it until the door opens.” She said. Yes!! Force those doors to open for you! I also loved her response to creative block - just sitting in that stuckness and letting it be time for incubation of an idea. She talked about how that pause, that slowing down is part of the creative process. Soak up her wisdom! Adjoa Burrowes is a mixed media artist and educator. Her multifaceted career includes decades as a graphic designer for major corporations, and illustrating over a dozen picture books - including Grandma’s Purple Flowers which she also authored. Her journey as a teaching artist includes years teaching in the National Museum of Women in the Art’s Bridging Communities and Arts, Books, and Communities (ABC) program in 12 schools, and 11 years developing art residencies as a teaching artist with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in dozens of schools in the DC metropolitan area. Burrowes has a BFA from Howard University in printmaking and an MA in art education from the Corcoran School of Art at The George Washington University. In her current art practice she creates abstract mixed media prints, collages, and sculpture from reclaimed cardboard that address issues of consumerism, decay, and rebirth. She lives and maintains a studio in northern Virginia and is an elementary art teacher at The Flint Hill School in Oakton, Virginia.

Ep. 25 Who Were You Meant To Be?#society #social norms #behaviorAs I have said from my very first podcast none of know who we are or who we were supposed to be. From the moment we fall out of the woumb and onto the delivery room table we are told who to be.What to thinkHow to dressWhat to eatHow to speakWhen to speakWhat words we can and cannot sayThey dazzle our minds with color, religion and fairy tales.They hypnotize us with sex, TV and the internet. They fill us with fear with boogeymen, They control us with propaganda. They distract us and get us chasing after bigfoot, unicorns and mermaids.After 20 to 30 odd years we are buried beneath so much crap that it’s impossible to move.We can not breath. We can not see. If you peel away the layers of bullshit, like and onion, you will discover yourself and who you were meant to be. One of the songs on this album titled, Look At Me, was actually written in India in 1968 From John Lennon’s album Plastic Ono Band released December 1970.

Aired Wednesday, 17 October 2018, 8:00 PM ETD. Patrick Miller – How To Be Spiritual Without Being ReligiousGrowing up in the fifties and sixties, I remember that religious identity was very important to many of my friends and stressed by their parents. One of the blessings of growing up in the religiously diverse neighborhoods of Brooklyn, New York, was joining my friends and their families while celebrating religious festivals and holidays. There was an energy in these gatherings that seemed to transcend the diverse doctrines of the various religions, an energy predicated on the feelings of family, oneness, joy and love. Today, many are seeking that same energy and often outside of the religions of their birth. According to the Pew Research Center, approximately 37 percent of Americans identify themselves as spiritual but not religious. This sentiment seems to be prevalent amongst millennials. Is there a way for each of us to pursue this energy of spirit in our daily lives and find meaning and happiness?My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, D. Patrick Miller, has developed a concise approach to this based upon what he calls “the spirituality of ordinary life.”D. Patrick Miller is the author of a dozen books, two published by Penguin Random House, two by Hampton Roads Publishing, and the rest under the Fearless Books imprint. First trained as an investigative journalist, he began writing about spirituality, human potential, and creativity after a seven-year illness initiated his spiritual path. Since that time he has intensively studied A Course in Miracles, the Enneagram system of personality, Jungian depth psychology, shamanism, and related fields of contemporary spirituality.As a magazine and online journalist, Patrick has written more than 100 articles for Yoga Journal, THE SUN, Elephant Journal online, and many other media. He is also the founder of Fearless Books and Literary Services, and has helped other authors prepare manuscripts for such major publishers as Viking, Doubleday, Crown, Simon & Schuster, Tarcher Perigee, Hay House, Hampton Roads, and New World Library. He provides manuscript consultations, editing, assisted publishing, and professional representation to published and unpublished authors working in fiction and nonfiction. He is also a semi-professional photographer whose work can be viewed and purchased in multiple media at Fine Art America. His websites include dpatrickmiller.com and fearlessbooks.com. He joins me this week to discuss his seminal work, How to Be Spiritual Without Being Religious.

I learn to ask myself, who am I? In that I get to create the person I want to be in the world. Thoughts on Breathing I'm not very good at it. I try to do the slow breathing. I don't know why I don't want to take a full breath. I'm lazy. I have tried all the mindfulness techniques of breathing. Especially as a hypnotherapist I learn all these things. I do try to take that earth breath. When you need to get calm, I take this big earth breath; in for seven and out for ten. It does ground you. That is a good technique. I think it's a Hawaiian technique. Suggested Resources Book: Midlife Mojo: How To Get Through The Midlife Crisis and Emerge As Your True Self Book: The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle App: Calm Bullying Story I've got two stories. I'm going to tell you a story from a female perspective. I bullied myself and it wasn't until maybe five years ago that I realized. I remember one day when I was so mean to myself; my thoughts were so mean. I screamed at myself out loud to 'stop it'. I said, 'you would never say that to anyone else. Why are you saying that to you? I know you would never, ever say those words to anyone else, living or dead, so stop it.' I think especially woman, as it relates to our bodies, we are very cruel to ourselves. We give ourselves cruel messages all the time and we need to stop doing it. The only way to do that is to be mindful and to hear the words that we're saying. It stopped. Now when they come up, I say, no, no, no. When you stop and you hear your thought and you go, do I believe that? We don't often question our beliefs. As coaches, that's one of the first things we do with people. We say, what do you believe. In the spiritual terms and the law of attraction, what you believe is what shows up in your life. If you don't have the things that you think you want, it's because you don't believe in them. That's another story. That's a really interesting way to look at bullying, but we do bully ourselves. The second story is, I was married to an abusive alcoholic. He was abusive emotionally and physically. He was a bully. He was my second husband. He wasn't my children's dad. If I were to kiss my boys goodnight, he would call them girls. That is a form of bullying. When it got so bad that I thought my oldest would get between us and hit him, I just stopped that right in it's tracks because I was afraid that he would have a record (my son) and he would never be able to do what he wanted to do in his life. Second Story. After my accident and I was in the hospital, I had a lawyer and he was extremely mean to me. This is a story about how I learned to respond instead of react. He would have me in tears, he would send me nasty letters. I thought, wait a minute, you work for me. It was a big case and he was crazy, but I had a really good friend who had the same lawyer and he was so nice to him. I thought, why is he so mean to me? Does he not like girls? What is it? Eventually, he got fired, but I learned that I didn't have to accept that. I learned that I could choose not to open those letters. I could choose to do things that made me feel better. I want everyone to know that that's your choice. You can choose to react or you can choose to respond.

Dr. Eric Maisel is a bestselling author, psychotherapist, and creativity coach. He's the author of 40 books on a wide variety of subjects, from the challenges of living the creative life to natural psychology, the new psychology of meaning; those books including Fearless Creating, The Van Gogh Blues, and Coaching the Artist Within. A licensed psychotherapist, he reaches thousands through his Psychology Today and Fine Art America blogs, his print column in Professional Artist magazine, and workshops in the United States and abroad. He's an advocate for a changed and revitalized view of mental health services, one that does away with our current mental disorder naming system. He's also an advocate for a global paradigm shift from seeking meaning to making meaning, a very crucial distinction that we'll talk about today. His latest book, LIFE PURPOSE BOOT CAMP, recently released on New World Library, talks about that very shift, as he helps readers who are seeking meaning in their lives understand how, by adopting certain ideas and engaging in specific practices, they can effectively meet their pressing life purpose challenges.  To do that, he suggests that readers do three things, which he explains in great detail in the book: get clear on what their unique life is all about, upgrade their personalities, and manage their circumstances as mindfully as they can. We talk all about that, along with his life journey, and how he lives his own life "on purpose". For more information on Eric, visit: http://ericmaisel.com.
